      I have no idea if he used protective gear when applying it, which certainly could have increased his exposure. I would love to blame Monsanto, but most of the family carry the risk genes for this cancer too, and as yet his children are cancer free. Their babies though, not so much

        Fuck :/

        Yeah… I would also love to blame Monsanto but from what I understand it’s basically impossible to definitively say what caused someone’s cancer specifically.

        It’s just the first instinct when I hear their name and “cancer” in the same sentence.

        One thing we can be sure of is cancer sucks and anything we can do as a species to understand it better is more than worth the effort.
